What's it like to experience Music Therapy?

British Association for Music Therapy

The British Association for Music Therapy (BAMT) acts as the central point for information about Music Therapy and provides support for Music Therapists across the UK. We strive for equal access to Music Therapy for everyone, promote its proven health benefits, and advocate for the profession, its communities and Service Users. Through events, professional development opportunities, and training, we bring together a community committed to excellence in practice and research. Every two years, BAMT hosts a national conference to showcase Music Therapy practice and research taking place throughout the UK.

As the national voice for the profession, BAMT is here to support Music Therapists at every stage of their journey - from students in training to experienced practitioners and those returning to practice. Membership offers connection, guidance, and support through shared learning, regional networks, and specialist communities. By joining BAMT, members become part of a collective effort to strengthen, sustain, and elevate Music Therapy for the benefit of all.
